APEC 2019: When you really, really need a rugged power connector
We recently spoke with Jessica Engel from Harwin talked to us a bit about some new developments in power connector technology. One such development was the Datamate Mix-Tek series of power connectors. She says they’re lightweight, compact, offer or 20 and 40-A options, and provide a lot of design flexibility. You have the option to […]
Harwin establishes Academy for aspiring young engineers
Always looking to support upcoming generations of engineering talent, Harwin has announced the founding of its Harwin Academy. This new venture, which has been undertaken in partnership with Havant & South Downs College, has the objective of giving high-quality training to students — thereby opening up career paths for them within the burgeoning STEM sector. […]
3.00-mm pitch power connectors and assemblies with 10 A current capacity
In keeping with the company’s core objective of providing elevated levels of performance in the most compact of components, Harwin’s expansive M300 family comprises robust cable-to-board, board-to-board and cable-to-cable power connectors. Available in 3, 6 and 10 contact formats, these units can be accompanied by a variety of cable assembly options (with lengths from 150 […]
Circular sensor connectors with breakaway collars prevent damage to critical elements
Continuing to develop interconnect solutions with the capacity to cope even in the most challenging of operational environments, Harwin has introduced a new circular sensor connector product. With a current rating of 2A per contact, the members of the Vivern family come in a 10-contact 1.45mm pitch format and have an insulation resistance of over […]

New screw-loks and cables added to 1.25mm pitch connectors
To address the market needs of avionics, space, military and autosport deployment, among others, Harwin has significantly extended the scope of its award-winning Gecko Screw-Lok (Gecko-SL) 1.25mm pitch connectors with new options. To present engineers with greater design flexibility, and ensure that mating procedures are made as straightforward as possible, a reverse fix orientation has […]
Developments in high-amperage connectors with Harwin
There’s a need for higher amperage in contacts and connectors. That’s because of increased needs for SWAP — small size, little weight, and an ability to handle a lot of power in a very small space. And because of that, connector makers are innovating with some higher-amp contact options. We recently did a short video […]
Ultra-compact cable-to-board connector optimizes space on crowded PCBs
Continuing to extend the breadth of its interconnect solutions, Harwin has announced the latest addition to the M40 series. With phosphor bronze contacts that are rated for currents of up to 1 A, these lightweight, low profile 1-mm pitch units are the smallest in the company’s portfolio of cable-to-board connectors. They have been developed specifically […]
Gallery: Embedded World 2018 — Living the dream at the Edge
From the world of hype to the Embedded World of “real” things, last month in Nuremberg was where the IoT rubber met the road. Displays of smart manufacturing, smart home, autonomous vehicles seemed like more of a backdrop than eye candy. What embedded design engineers were looking for at Embedded World 2018 was a different […]
